“When I took over the affairs of Zamfara State I met government owing workers May salary which I have already directed for its payment.
“The May salary was supposed to be paid by previous government but due to financial difficulties it failed to pay before leaving the office.
“Despite the challenges after my assumption in office I gave immediate order for the payment of workers in the state.
“I believe workers in the state have already received their last month salary and hope they will utilise and celebrate Sallah in a happy mood,” Matawallen-Maradun said. (NAN)
